"Alone in the jungle, Rainsford is afraid."

Answer: Supports

Explanation: In the beginning of the story, Rainsford is portrayed as a fearless hunter, but when he is alone in the jungle, he is the complete opposite.

"Rainsford is a well-known hunter."

Answer: Does not support

Explanation: Being a "well-known hunter" is Rainsford's reputation, not the character he portrays in secret.

"The barber is skilled at his job."

Answer: Does not support

Explanation: The statement regarding the barber's expertise is something everyone is aware of, it does not refer to what he does in secret.

"The barber has been secretly helping the rebels."

Answer: Supports

Explanation: The fact that he is secretly helping the rebels is who he secretly is. Being a barber is only a secondary trait, or a cover up for what is truly important.
